For now, the committee will be developing the events thematic elements, securing a keynote speaker and developing a list prospective educational sessions. Colecchi reminded her colleagues that the final litmus test for session selection will be the extent to which the address recognized emerging challenges members are confronting in the marketplace.

“NAID 2017 has the opportunity to embrace the more stable industry where vendor qualifications continue to become strong differentiators,” said NAID CEO Bob Johnson. “We are finally seeing this industry come of age and the annual conference has to recognize that reality.”
